    Tinnitus Stopped in My Left Ear for 2 Seconds...

    I had this happen to me this morning, and it has happened a few times in the past (but very irregularly - like maybe once every 6 months). Lying in bed and it just completely dropped out in my left ear (my worse ear) and I had *total* quiet for about 2 seconds. My ordinary tinnitus in that ear...

    Is Anybody Else's Tinnitus *Helped* by Aspirin?

    I ended up taking the Aspirin first in January when I had a stabbing back pain from sleeping in a weird position one night (went away after a couple days). I'd avoided it before because I knew it to be ototoxic and sometimes associated with tinnitus. What @EarHair says makes sense about it being...

    Is Anybody Else's Tinnitus *Helped* by Aspirin?

    Also should note that it doesn't do anything for the constant tones for me, only the really annoying high pitched pulsing/oscillating whine I have in my left ear.

    Is Anybody Else's Tinnitus *Helped* by Aspirin?

    I have posted here a few times since my tinnitus really went crazy around 2 years ago. I have had a constant tone tinnitus for a really long time (around 10 years, since my teens) but about 2 years ago started to have this much more annoying oscillating very high-pitched metallic hiss/whine that...

    Cicada Tinnitus

    Thank you for these follow ups. I am surprised to hear that this exact sensation is the same as you have (since it isn't what I had for most of the time I had tinnitus). My professional/education background is in computer science and software where you can deeply know everything down from what...

    Cicada Tinnitus

    I’ve posted here a couple times in the last year since my tinnitus became dramatically worse in late 2016. I’ve been trying to manage it with a sound generating hearing aid, which has definitely helped keep me off the brink, but I’ve been having some thoughts and making some observations that I...

    Hearing Aids

    Hey @Alan Roger I am actually wearing the Signia Pure Primax 7px right now. My audiologist mentioned that there is a new successor that has real Bluetooth LE (https://www.signia-pro.com/pure-13-bt/) which will be for sale in early May and if I decide to stick with Signia overall I will probably...

    N-Acetylcysteine (NAC)

    @Cal18 Yes, the neurologist I saw and her resident looked in very close detail at the MRI I'd had and ordered this new MRA(w/ FIESTA protocol) specifically to screen for a vascular loop - I have it next monday. They said they want to hold off on the tegretol until that has come back. My attitude...

    N-Acetylcysteine (NAC)

    @CDNThailand Unfortunately, it has not, but my attitude about it has become a little more accommodative and less panicked. The symptoms are essentially unchanged for me, though. I am going to see a second neurologist later this month and ask to be evaluated for microvascular compression (MRI...

    N-Acetylcysteine (NAC)

    Hey @shasta0863 I don't want to start a baseless conspiracy theory here but I am also shocked enough by what you reported and how very exactly it aligns with my recent experience that I thought I should post. I have had T for over 12 years now and taken NAC after every episode of noise exposure...

    Loud Tone for a Few Seconds — Fleeting / Transient Spontaneous Tinnitus

    Update: I have found references to this phenomenon on this forum and others: https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/sudden-pressure-and-brief-ringing-in-one-ear.9712/ http://www.actiononhearingloss.org.uk/tinnitusforum.aspx?g=posts&t=2954...

    Loud Tone for a Few Seconds — Fleeting / Transient Spontaneous Tinnitus

    I have been living with tinnitus in both of my ears and partial fullness/poorer hearing in one ear (my right ear) for the last 10 years (since age 16, am now 26). I have seen more doctors than I can count, some highly regarded and as close to domain experts as seems to exist (including House...
